Here in Wisconsin as a resident I can vote on many new issues brought up by its residents through the Vonservation Congress Spring hearings.
Topics cover alot of Hunting and Fishing laws and regulations.
And as a resident I can also submit an idea for change.
So I am!

Turkey Hunting
Legal means to harvest a turkey today in Wisconsin is by shotgun, muzzleloader, crossbow, or by bow and arrow.

My suggestion.
Legal means to harvest a wild turkey is by:
Any firearm capable of holding a fixed shotshell, muzzlel9ader, crossbow, or bow and arrow.

Why?
This change would allow me or others to hunt wild turkey using a handgun such as a Taurus Judge 45/410 Revolver. Or that new Diablo 12 GA. Handgun.

Actually I have taken 5 birds now with my Taurus Judge 410, loaded with Apex tungsten TSS 9.5 Shot. I have a decent 25 yard pattern. It's Legal to use a handgun in a few states. So I do.
Why not my home state?
So I am in the process authoring this change. I hope to get it thru the CC system and on the Spring ballot.for this year.

Sure is a fun way to hunt!

I tell people all the time about you and your Judge.

Truly impressive!

I've yet to run into another turkey hunter who uses one.

I suppose archery is probably still more difficult...
I've never archery hunted for turkey specifically... Only in the fall while deer hunting.

But the judge wins by cool factor for sure.

Well Jake I also made another 1st using a Bullhead tri-vane guillotine broadhead in my 10pt Titan crossbow!
Took his head clean off! Well almost. 13 yd shot.
To be honest I was 1 for 7 attemps. Ya either hit it or a clean miss.




Man I love turkey hunting
